I am always fussing with mine, taking them apart and remaking them as I change shape - but of actual wearable kilts -
Forest DPM
Taupe pinstripe
Grey black red white stripes
Black '8 yards of darkness'
Red stuart
Blue/white plaid pattern
Red yellow orange plaid pattern
Only seven? I will have to get busy, there must be the makings, or remakings of at least ten more, strewn about the place. Though I will probably find several more I have forgotten about if I look, or put in a rew stitches to complete them.

Four, with high hopes for many more. I'm sticking to the more budget friendly ones for now though... but I'm really pining for a USAK Casual Prince of Wales and a Norwegian Centennial tartan tank someday. Right now the kollection consists of (in order of acquirement)...
- SWK Standard Black Stewart
- USAK Casual Colquhoun
- Solid Black denim contemporary kilt made by Alan H (A rarity and specialty, if I may say so, and one that, if a bit large, sees great amounts of use.)
- SWK Standard Nightstalker

I still have 3 tartans in wool and two in PV to work with.
After all, I made 9 of the 20 above.

I have eight hand sewn wool tartan (5 four yard box pleat, 3 tanks), and one hemp Rkilt. Then there are the dozen I made myself, trying to make decent work wear. Some all right, some just "kilt like objects".
There are a couple more things I might like to have.

Being new, I am assuming a "tank" is a 16 oz. wool kilt. Is that correct??
Thanks everyone!! I'm elated that I'm not alone in the wonderment of kilts!
